Language: Spanish (Español)
Our translations: FRE
En la casa blanca muere la perdición de los hombres. Cien jacas caracolean. Sus jinetes están muertos. Bajo las estremecidas estrellas de los velones, su falda de moaré tiembla entre sus muslos de cobre. Cien jacas caracolean. Sus jinetes están muertos. Largas sombras afiladas vienen del turbio horizonte, y el bordón de una guitarra se rompe. Cien jacas caracolean. Sus jinetes están muertos.
